In a survey conducted by the ECHO, it was revealed Evertonians now feel a mid-table finish was the most likely finishing position this season, with a tenth-placed finish receiving the biggest share of the vote.

At the start of the season, in our pre-season survey, the majority of Blues backed their club to finish in the top six – but the season's start has knocked the confidence of our voters.

Greg says: "It's important to keep it in perspective. We're seven games in and there's nothing you can draw to conclusively in to where th club will finish up in May.

"But the fans that are disappointed and those that have answered our survey and said that they have been disenchanted so far have got a point.

"There's was always going to be question marks raised over Everton's ability to thrive on four fronts. I think there's genuine and valid concerns about the strength in depth Roberto Martinez has."
